Title: Quality control system for meat processing system.
Inventor: MCDONNELL DECLAN ARTHUR
IPC: A22C17/00
Filed: 2009-07-20
Abstract: A quality control system forming part of a meat processing line. Meat cuts are led through a number of weighing and trimming stations before being fed to quality control area. Two quality assurance stations 70, 71 are used and at each station product identification and instructions are relayed to the operator via a terminal. An intelligent flow line directs primal meat cuts and trimmings to/from designated quality assurance stations so that the weight, identification and quality attributes of incoming primals/trims will be measured. This data will be continually fed to a central computer system which will give real time quality assurance data per primal/trim type and trimmer to the production supervisor(s). The first quality control station 70 is a static inspection station at which the trimmed cuts are inspected and feedback is provided via a terminal 73. After static inspection the meat cut may be re-introduced onto the main trimmed product conveyor 90. The second quality control station 71 comprises an inspection conveyor 72 to which meat cuts are led for inspection. Again, feedback and inputs are provided by a terminal 74. The output from the quality inspection station 71 may be directly packaged.

Title: Control assembly operable in the event of overheating of an aircraft engine electronic controller
Inventor: HARRISON MARK
IPC: B64D43/00
Filed: 2009-09-07
Abstract: A control assembly operable in the event of overheating of an engine electronic controller on an aircraft includes one or more temperature sensors located in the vicinity of the aircraft engine and connected to a control unit. The control unit is arranged to measure the temperature(s) detected by the sensors and to determine whether, in view of detected increased temperature(s), a situation constitutes an emergency situation or a controlled situation. The control unit communicates a controlled situation to a pilot of the aircraft, and automatically causes an override action to occur to the aircraft engine when an emergency situation is determined. An emergency situation may be determined when the time taken for a detected temperature at one or more locations on the aircraft engine(s) to rise from one predetermined level to another is less than a threshold time. An emergency situation may be declared if the temperature at a location on the engine that is spaced from the controller, and which has a lower thermal lag than the controller, rises above a predetermined upper temperature.

Title: Recycling wood-based fibre board
Inventor: NEW ARTHUR JAMES
IPC: B27N3/00
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A method of recycling wood-based fibre board recovers the constituent wood fibres for re-use as a substitute for virgin wood fibre. The fibre board is shredded and mixed with water and preferably electrolyte to form a slurry, which is then heated by passing an electric current through the slurry to weaken the bonding between the wood fibres. A surface agent may be added to accelerate water impregnation. The heating may be at a temperature up to 160 degrees centigrade and at a pressure of up to 20 atmospheres. After heating, the slurry may be de-clumped in a rotating cylinder or ribbon blender and may be rapidly depressurized by spraying through a nozzle, to dry and separate the fibres. Apparatus is described for carrying out the method as a continuous process.

Title: Method And Apparatus Protecting Wind Turbines From Low Cycle Fatigue Damage
Inventor: BOWYER ROBERT
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 2009-12-23
Abstract: A wind turbine has an anemometer 30 e.g. a Doppler Lidar, Sodar or Radar, to sense multiple upstream wind conditions 20 including wind speed, direction and turbulence e.g. vertical or horizontal shear. Anemometer signals are processed to correct for axial induction 40 and coherence 42 and to detect 46 an event which could give rise to low cycle fatigue loading on one or more components of the wind turbine. On detection the system controller takes the action depending on the nature and severity of the extreme condition detected. This may include a significant reduction in power generated through reduction in rotor speed or torque, complete shutdown of the generator and yawing of the nacelle and rotor in response to a change in wind direction.

Title: Improvements in the production of compositions of or containing organic polysulphides and articles produced therefrom
IPC: C08G75/16
Filed: 1942-07-23
Abstract: Composite organic polysulphides are made by causing an aqueous solution of an inorganic polysulphide to react initially with one or more organic dihalogen compounds present in a total proportion not exceeding a semi-molecular proportion with respect to the inorganic polysulphide and subsequently causing the reaction mixture to react with one or more organic dihalogen compounds (of which one at least is different from the initial dihalogen compound(s)) and present in a proportion sufficient to render the total quantity of organic dihalogen compounds substantially equimolar with respect to the inorganic polysulphide.  In a modification, two solutions each obtained by reacting an inorganic polysulphide with a different organic dihalogen compound, are mixed and used as the reaction mixture for the subsequent reaction.  The process may be carried out in emulsion or the first reaction mixture may be added to aqueous emulsions of the subsequently added dihalogen compounds.  Specified inorganic polysulphides are the alkali and alkaline earth polysulphides. Organic dihalogen compounds recited include methylene, ethylene and propylene dichlorides, dichlorhydrin, dichlorodiethyl ether, dichlorodiethyl sulphide, isoprene dibromide, trimethyl dibromide and p-xylylene dibromide.  In example (1) sodium polysulphide is reacted with ethylene dichloride in emulsion and the reaction mixture reacted with b .b 1-dichlorodiethyl ether.  In example (2), the dihalogen compounds are reacted in the reverse order.  Samples have been furnished under Sect. 2 (5) of polysulphides prepared from (A) one-sixth of a molecular proportion each of propylene and ethylene dichloride in the first stage and two-thirds of a molar proportion of b .b 1-dichlorodiethyl sulphide in the second stage; (B) a half molar proportion of ethylene dichloride in the first stage and a mixture of a quarter molar proportion each of triglycol dichloride and b .b 1-dichlorodiethyl sulphide in the second stage; and (C) one-fifth of a molar proportion of a -dichlorhydrin in the first stage and two-fifths of a molar proportion each of ethylene dichloride and b .b 1-dichlorodiethylformal in the second stage.  Specification 572,830 is referred to.
